PUH-leese.<br /><br />okay, stop talking about them. now, its all about me. tonight, while i was walking through the skyway connecting Doroteo Jose and Recto station i was just wondering how it would be me being involved in a relationship. i really cant see myself into one. how hard it is just thinking of it! how much more it would be experiencing it? last friday night at our tambayan, i asked our resident fortune teller to look at my fortune. she let me ask one question answerable either by yes or no. i asked "would i have a lovelife in 5 years time?". the answer clearly stated yes, as she said so.<br /><br />the thought just left me speechless. i just dont know how would that happen. or i was thinking whether it is right to believe in those things. there is nothing wrong in believing but we should know the consequences.<br /><br />as i have been reiterating these days, love is not at the top of my priority list. it comes in the 50th to the 100th. true. it takes something little to make me happy. UP winning a game is one. me being asked to join the Pep Squad is one. those kind of little things.<br /><br />i want to leave a quote ive been living up to: "I was never meant for loving. I am here to make others happy."<br /><br />yes, you heard it right i was asked to join the UP Pep Squad.<br /><br />the scene:<br />HE: kuya, anong year mo na at course.<br />AKO: IE, 2nd year.<br />HE: ano nga pla name mo?<br />AKO: jod.<br />HE: gusto mo sumali ng pep?<br />AKO: [stunned]<br /><br />i was flattered. they are asking me to join. but, i really think without bias but to look at the practicality of the situation. actually, i wanted to join Pep since i was first year - the dancers to be exact. but, when the second semester came and i saw drummer's application posters, iw anted to be a drummer. and now, i met ajee [ajee is a drummer applicant] i want to be part of the Pep. the problem is, the training goes from 5pm-9pm. and, i dont have my own mode of transportation so it wouldnt be convenient for me to go home. i have to weigh my pros and cons perfectly before i make any decision. anyway, i can always joint raining anytime i am sure that i really want to become part of it. i just hope it wouldnt be too late.<br /><br />i am going to leave you the message i saw on the new up pep banner on our very old and rusty bus:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> SEE YOU THIS CHEERDANCE COMPETITION<br />(not word by word)<br /></div>j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1155733772351899642006-08-16T20:48:00.000+08:002006-08-16T21:09:32.476+08:00an out of the classroom lesson.the day didnt appear as bad as i thought it would be. well, i was expecting today to be "not" fun as the day was yesterday. but, today was completely different.<br /><br />today, i realized something i havent realized for so long. i know that it would be too boastful to say that i am really kind. i know you wouldnt believe me; but, believe me, i am. i find it easy to trust someone i just met without even knowing more of them. i just trust them. if in danger, i may trust my life to a complete stranger. that is how i am.<br /><br />so this morening, someone i just met told me how bitchy i was to play him around. i just asked myself, who the hell he is thinking i was playing around with him. that is when i thought how even trusted him without even knowing him. all the while i thought he was a friend. but, it didnt take long before he revealed his true colors. a text message broke the silence. all the time we were arguing through text did i realize what the point of the argument was. and it popped into my mind that i did nothing wrong and that he does not have the right to call me a liar. first, i didnt even know what his reasons were. second, he doesnt know me that well to blame me for anything that has happened to him. and third, the hell i dont care about his business or about his and his whatever's business.<br /><br />all through physics lab, i was bothered by one question. why am i bothered with his texts even if i dont know him long enough? and it is that i trusted him even if we talk throught text. i truested someone i barely even know. and that was what's wrong.<br /><br />and now, i ask myself why do i always get hurt when people say something bad about other people. and, the answer is right infront of me. the moment i meet someone, i always stick to my mind that whoever he/she is, he/she is a good person. i seldom think that people are bad. that is what my problem is. no matter how much they have hurt me, i always think that this is God's way of testing me on how i love my friends.<br /><br />even if this happened to me, i still believe that people, in nature, are good. no matter what happens, there is still good in them. and what i have learned, i should be too trusting of others. more, if we only just met them.<br /><br />my journey of meeting new people doesnt stop here; moreover, this only teaches me a lesson i would need in meeting new acquaintances. and i hope, through this lesson, i would have a better selection of friends.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1155556302046110752006-08-14T19:27:00.000+08:002006-08-14T19:51:42.080+08:00today.everything seems to fall apart.<br /><br />i can tell you that this one of those days when it seems that everything is against you.<br /><br />even the weather is on the opposing force.<br /><br />it is when you realize that what you are aiming for is completely impossible.<br /><br />this is the day when everything that you believe in just dont seem believable anymore.<br /><br />this is the day he/she says "dont love me the way you do now".<br /><br />this is the day you discover the reason why he/she didnt go with you on your monthsary.<br /><br />this is the day when you feel like you are AGAIN nobody.<br /><br />the day you feel so worthless and that everything you do doesnt seem to be in place.<br /><br />this is the day your horoscope tells you that your luck suddenly stops.<br /><br />this is the moment you have been waiting for yet makes you wait a little longer.<br /><br />that is how may day went. i thought that this would be one of the happiest days of the week. still, i know that there is a time for everything. there will be this time that the world would be rotating and it would be my happy day.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1155388504885544042006-08-12T20:51:00.000+08:002006-08-12T21:15:08.626+08:00this week.i have had such a very hectic week. i cant even believe myself reading my photcopied readings and understanding physics concepts in the dead of the night. never in my life did i experiecned those things. in highschool, my studying didnt last until 11 or 12 un the evening. but now, it just so happen that i am still up by 1am. the problem with it is that i need to wake up real early for my 7 and 830am classes. i whine for my sleepless nights. and more for my pokemon professor.<br /><br />i am really nervous about how my essay would be criticized. actually, i just made it out of nowhere. my topic is really off. and i did it because i had no choice. i really learn a lot from my professor, friend nelson. he really is a friend. and through our essay writing workshop he really believes in me. actually, even if my essay has not beeen discussed yet; he know i have my opinions about everything and that i make very constructive criticisms about other's essay. for example, last meeting he decided that we criticize the essay by Tarantella [we write in pseudonyms. and mine's Kapitan Kalaykay]. i havent read the essay yet. so i decided to skip reciting when he asks for our opinions about the essay. then he asked me if ever i had something to say. but i honestly told him that i did not have the chance to read his essay. so he decided to make the discussion longer so that i can finish reading it and say something. but, i really didnt want to say something about his topic. so he just went off criticizing the next in line.<br /><br />to tell you the truth, i never felt that important during a discussion. during high school, when it comes tot discussions about a certain essay or topic i just feel invisible. its like i enver get to say anything that would help. true. i read and undertand the literature we would be discussing for the day but i never get to share my ideas and opinions. my opinions back then were not important. what they ened me for is answers to assignments and quizzes, not what comes from my mouth. i admit, i was better of in written activities than in oral ones. but, when it comes to the point that i speak, i never feel that i have th attention i deserve.<br /><br />at this point, i am just so proud i get to study in a university where all opinions are respected.<br /><br />another, in our MPs10 class, as i have said, we are criticizing essays. another thing that i have learned is how to make life moe creative. as sir said, we shouldnt put normal everyday experiences for everybody have experienced it. there would be mno point telling us how your day went without it being extraordinary. i know it sounds so bad to the writer of the essay. but, it really is true. there is no point telling us thigns we already know.<br /><br />i think that through all of these things that are happening to mei can say that somehow, i changed. i admit that before i tend to neglect my responsibilities. but certain situations - i just dont know what they are- made me somehow responsible. i know in a certain time and place i will mature to be more responsible and think of others also.<br /><br />I ADMIT I AM sometimes SELFISH.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1155041711330526182006-08-08T20:36:00.000+08:002006-08-08T20:55:11.366+08:00to go to Galera, you need to study.i am having less time for blogging or for doing my usual nighttime internet surfing.<br /><br />i can feel the effects of too much academics in life. i am beginning to feel so sick! in the morning, i can tell that i have fever. even if i really have none, i can insist that i have fever. maybe, i just want to have a day of rest. that is all i want. my classes run from mondays to fridays but it so happens that i have extracurricular events on saturdays and uaap games to attend to every sundays.<br /><br />even through my hectic schedule, i can still have fun. during my 2 hour break times - which do not result to real break times - i go to our tambayan and have fun and socialize with people there. actually, it is part of my duty as a memcom director. well, it is not said explicitly but it is implied that when it comes to the application process i have something to do with it. making sure that the applicants feel welcome is part of my job. but, i feel so guilty about not having to REALLY fulfill this responsibility. i dont spend that much time with them. i wish i could.<br /><br />another, i am very depressed about what is happening to my other organization. i am rarely seen during GAs. it is partly my fault. the GAs start at 5 and my class either ends in 1 or 530. GAs are on mondays so, my classes end at 1 so it is very difficult to stay and have nothing to do from 1-5. they are coining what is happening to me as "disappearing act". i really promise that i would be attending the next GA to be held. and oh, i owe them 10 pesos for each GA i did not attend. gah!<br /><br />karen's birthday is coming. still, i havent got an idea of what to give her on that day. and, i dont have money to buy something if ever i had an idea of what to give her. because, i am saving such that i can pay back mom what i owe her for buying my fone. my celfone is not free you know! i still need to work hard to say that i really bought it myself.<br /><br />anyway, school is demanding so much attention and i really cannot -even for a short period of time- lose my focus. because when i begin to enjoy doing something i would be doing it until the moment i become tired of it. so, as much as possible i take my eyes off possible temptations like internet surfing, texting, watching television. but, here is the catch, whenever i study it is either i am in the living room in front of the television or at the dining room at the back of the television. and, usually, my fone is within 5 meter radius and i can hear the computer's speakers out loud. so much for contradiction and temptation.<br /><br />okay i have to go back to studying now. but lately i have relaized that whenever you want to get things done, you got to maintain focus. because the moment you lose the momentum of finishing what you've started, it is very hard to take it back. for now, i am going to focus on studying.<br /><br />and, good news everyone. i just failed our math55 first long examination. well, i am expecting that. but, for my parents to approve of me going to Puerto Galera this sembreak with my college blockmates, i better start studying and make my grades go up.<br /><br />tata. wish me luck.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1154617216064055252006-08-03T20:33:00.000+08:002006-08-03T23:00:16.176+08:00into the oblation nation.are classes will be cut tomorrow for the school's preparation for this year's upcat.<br /><br />i remember that i took my upcat last 13august04 at 1230pm. approximately 2 years from now. as i remember correctly, i didnt really STUDY <as> hard. the days that i took studying for the upcat seriously was a weekend wherein i stayed in my room except for meals. i just read and read books and my old notes.<br /><br />actually, upcat wouldnt be such a hassle. to make sure you really get in, you should have started early. your qualifications for entiring up does not depend on your upcat scores alone. your upg is part-upcat score and part-highschool grades. so, even if you are an honor student in your senior year but just slacked off for the first three years of highschool, better beware.<br /><br />getting into up requires a lot of wit and intelligence. it is up to you what tactics you would plan to really fo into the university. some take a course they think no one would ever pick. and, eventually, after they enter the university, shift to the course they really wanted.<br /><br />what i just want to say is that i bid all the upcat takers goodluck and i really hope that they would get into the oblation nation.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1154444961360012462006-08-01T23:07:00.000+08:002006-08-01T23:09:21.383+08:00the issue with tissue<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;">Habang ginagawa ko ang aking pang-araw-araw na <i style="">internet surfing</i>, nakaramdam ako ng pagkasawa sa mga <i style="">website</i> tulad ng <i style="">ubelt.com</i> at <i style="">friendster.com</i> na lagi kong pinupuntahan. Naisip ko na bakit hindi ako maghanap ng ibang pwedeng puntahan. Nakita ko sa aking kabinet ang <i style="">Guinness Book of World Records</i> <i style="">2003 Edition </i>na may pabalat na nagre<i style="">reflect</i> ng ilaw. Naramdaman ko na lang ang aking mga kamay na pinipindot ang <i style="">keyboard</i> upang buuin ang adres na <i style="">www.guinnessworldrecords.com</i>. Biruin mo, may nakatala dito tungkol sa babae na may mga kuko na ang haba ay aabot ng pitong metro. Kung nakatira siya dito sa bahay namin ay malamang pinagalitan na siya dahil sa hindi paggupit ng kanyang mga kuko. At mayroon pang isa na nakatala tungkol sa dami ng sapatos na napakinis ng apat na tao sa loob ng walong oras. May nagsasabi sa isip ko na para saan pa at kailangang gawin ang mga bagay na tulad ng pagkikinis ng sapatos ng apat na tao. Napansin ko rin na halos lahat ng pwedeng itala ay naitatala – bilang ng sipit na maaring ilagay sa mukha, bilang ng <i style="">straw</i> na kayang isuksok sa bunganga, pinakamalaking <i style="">sandcastle</i>, pinakamataas na bahay na gawa sa baraha. Ang mga naisasama dito ay ang mga bagay na halos araw-araw ay ating ginagamit o nakikita. Ngunit, parang nakalimutan natin ang isang bagay na kung tutuusin ay naging malaking parte ng buhay, hindi lamang ng bawat Pilipino ngunit ng bawat tao sa buong mundo, ang tissue. Sinubukan kong maghanap ng tala para dito ngunit sa kasamaang palad ay wala akong makita. SInuyod ko na ang <i style="">Google</i>, <i style="">Yahoo</i> at lahat ng <i style="">search engine</i> sa <i style="">internet </i>ay wala pa rin akong napala. Teka, anu-ano nga naman ang mga gamit ng tissue para naman may maisip tayong maaring gawin dito para naman hindi siya <i style="">OP</i> (out of place) sa iba pang bagay?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;"><span style=""> </span>Bago ang lahat, gusto kong sabihin na ayon sa <i style="">wikipedia.org </i>ang tissue ay unang lumabas at ginamit noong ika-labingapat na daantaon sa Tsina. Sinabi ko ito para lang may alam tayo kung kailan unang nagkaroon ng tissue at upang mapatunayan na mas nauna natin itong gamitin kaysa sa sipit o <i style="">straw</i>. Noong ginawa ito, ang naging pangunahing gamit nito ay ang linisin ang dumi sa katawan. Ginagamit ito ng mga tao na pamunas ng puwet upang matanggal ang tira-tirang dumi matapos maglabas ng sama ng loob. Kadalasan din itong pinampupunas ng ari upang matuyo ang naiwang ihi matapos umihi. Hindi nagtagal, nagsawa sila sa tuyong tissue lang. Naisip nila na idawdaw ito sa tubig upang maging mamasa-masa nang hindi na sila maghugas ng katawan gamit ang tabo at tubig. Katamaran nga naman, oo. Pero, huwag ka, ito ang ideyang nagdulot ng pagkaimbento ng <i style="">wet wipes</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;"><span style=""> </span>Ang pinaka<i style="">common</i> na gamit ng tissue ay ang tinatawag nating <i style="">sanitary purposes</i>, ibig sabihin ay para sa kalinisan na katulad ng nasasaad sa itaas. Pero, sa kasalukuyang panahon ay mas malawak na ang saklaw ng gamit ng tissue sa larangan ng kalinisan. Una, ang tissue ay ginagamit para sa kalinisan ng katawan. Halos lahat ng dumi ng kahit anong parte ng katawan ay maaring linisin gamit ng tissue – naglalangis na mukha, ilong na puno na ng kulangot at sipon, tengang may luga, libag sa katawan at iba pa. Ngunit, hindi lahat ng parte ng katawan ay maaari nating linisin gamit ang tissue. Bakit, nasubukan mo na bang maglinis ng kuko at ngipin gamit ang tissue? Kaya naimbento ang <i style="">manicure set</i> at sepilyo para sa mga gawaing tulad ng unang nasaad. Ikalawa, ang tissue ay maaring panlinis ng kagamitan sa bahay. Ngunit, hindi ba mas magastos kung tissue ang gagamitin mong pamunas ng alikabok o di kaya’y panglinis ng banyo? Ang mga simpleng dumi sa bahay tulad ng natapong tubig o kaya ay naiwang mumu ng kinaing tinapay ay siyang mga bagay na maaari mong linisin gamit ang tissue.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;"><span style=""> </span>Isa pa sa mga gamit ng tissue ay ang <i style="">scholastic purposes</i>. Dito, sa paaralan naman natin ginagamit ang tissue. Sa umaga, pagpasok sa eskwela ay nagbabaon tayo upang makatipid at magamit natin ang pera sa mas kapakipakinabang na bagay. Ang <i style="">sandwich</i> na ating babaunin ay babalutin sa tissue. Bakit hindi na lang plastik? Ang tissue ay <i style="">recyclable </i>kaya nakaktulong ka na rin sa ating kapaligiran; ang plastik ay hindi. At alangan namang, ilalagay mo na lang ng basta sa loob ng bag ang <i style="">sandwich</i> mo. Ang isa pang gamit ng tissue sa mundo ng <i style="">academics</i> ay maaari mo itong gawing pambalot ng iyong mga kwaderno at libro. Magmumukhang mas presentable ang iyong kagamitan. Sa mga <i style="">supermarket</i> ay may binebentang tissue na may disenyong bulaklak o kabayo, maaari mo itong gamitin; sobra kang makakatipid. At, ang isa pang gamit nito sa pag-aaral ay para sa mga proyekto mo. Maaari mong i-<i style="">suggest</i> sa iyong guro na laging paper mach</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial Black&quot;;">è</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;"> ang iyong mga proyekto. Malaki ang maitutulong ng tissue pagdating sa larangan na ito. Naalala ko nga noong hayskul ay nawala ang pambura n gaming <i style="">white board</i>, nagtanong si <i style="">ma’am</i> kung sino ang may pamunas at naglabas naman ang aking kaklase ng isang kahon ng tissue. Biruin mo, nagbabaon ang kaklase ko ng isang malaking kahon ng tissue sa paaralan. Ganoon kaimportante sa kanya ang tissue.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;"><span style=""> </span>Ang huling kategorya ng mga gamit ng tissue ay ang tatawagin kong <i style="">public affairs purposes</i>. Dito, ginagamit ang tissue upang makisalamuha sa ibang tao. Maari mong ipambalot ng regalong maliliit ang tissue sa mga kaibigan mong may kaarawan. Sinasabi kong maliit lang dapat ang regalo kasi kung malaki ang iyong nais na iregalo ay malamang mapupunit ang tissue. Magbalot ba ng teddy bear gamit ang tissue? Isa pang halimbawa, ikaw ay nasa isang <i style="">hotel</i> <i style="">restaurant</i> at may <i style="">dinner date </i>ka. Sa <i style="">restaurant </i>na ito ay kumakanta ang paboritong mang-aawit ng iyong kasama at ninais niyang kantahin ng mang-aawit ang inyong <i style="">theme song</i>. Hindi ba’t kahiya-hiya kung bigla kang aakyat sa <i style="">stage</i> at bulungan ang mang-aawit? Ang tamang gawin dito ay kumuha ka ng tissue, tawagin ang <i style="">waiter</i> at humiram ng bolpen. Isulat sa tissue ang nasabing <i style="">theme song</i> at ipaabot ito sa mang-aawit sa pamamagitan ng <i style="">waiter</i>. Ang susunod na gamit nito ay para sa mga lalaki. Kung ikaw ay isang <i style="">chickboy</i> marahil ay alam mo na ang tinutukoy ko. Ang gamit ng tissue ay para may masusulatan ka ng <i style="">cell number</i> ng natipuan mong GRO sa <i style="">club</i> na pinuntahan mo. Hindi naman ito nagiging mabunga dahil kadalasan ay masyadong nagkakasiyahan sa loob ng <i style="">bar</i> at namamawis ang lalaki. Ang resulta, nababasa ang tissue at hindi na mabasa ang nakasulat. Ang huli para sa kategoryang ito ay para sa mga <i style="">show-off</i> na wala namang ipinagmamalaki. <st1:place st="on">Para</st1:place> ito sa mga lalaki at babae na nais magyabang na mayroon silang ipapakita. Sa mga babae, ang tissue ay ginagwang padding ng bra upang magmukhang malaki ang boobs nila – para maisip ng mga tao na cup C sila kahit na ang totoo ay cup A lang talaga sila. Sa mga lalaki naman, nilalagay nila ito sa kanilang brief at magsusuot ng hapit na pambaba upang magmukhang malaki ang kanilang alaga. Ang resulta, nadidismaya ang kanilang mga nakakaengkwentro dahil sa padding lang pala ang dahilan kung bakit malaki ang mga parte na kanilang inaasam. Hindi naman laging sa panlalandi lang ang gamit ng tissue. Maaari mo rin itong iabot sa iyong kaibigan kung siya ay umiiyak. Malay mo, lumaki pa ang tiwala niya sa iyo at magkaroon ka ng instant <i style="">bestfriend</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;"><span style=""> </span>Hindi lamang ito ang mga gamit ng tissue. May mga bagay na hindi sumasailalim sa mga kategoryang aking ginawa. Isa pa dito ay maaari mong ipangtakip sa iyong tenga ang tissue habang pinapagalitan ka ng nanay mo. Pero, hindi ito <i style="">advisable</i> kasi kabastusan iyon. Ang mga halimbawang sinasaad sa sanaysay na ito ay ang mga maaring maitulong sa atin ng tissue. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Century Gothic&quot;;"><span style=""> </span>Ang tissue ay isang pang-araw-araw na bagay.

AND, be grateful for it. waking up this morning - even if it is suuuuper late for my first class - is one thing to be thankful for. sometimes, i often think if i ever thank God for letting me wake up the next day. second, i was just happy that i realize how important it is to come to class (given na to, it is our responsibility to come to class. i for myself am guilty for being absent. SORRY!). i was just happy that we were able to show CE that we are a team to beat. even if we dont have our eng'g varsities (we really dont have one) or those pro players, we still showed them that we would not be giving up easily. i was happy because i had my points too! i had aces, attacks and digs. i think that was my best game yet.<br /><br />a simple entry to tell a simple story. you need not make an entry with deep vocabulary just to tell happy you are. gregarious, joyfull, happy - different words that relay the same meaning.<br /><br />dont look too much, you may miss the simplest aspects of life which may lead you to more frustration. learn to appreciate the simplest things and you'll see what happiness really is.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1153716906465068102006-07-24T12:35:00.000+08:002006-07-24T12:55:06.476+08:00a big upset.what has happened to our beloved UP Fighting Maroons?<br /><br />it was jsut so frustrating. i have figured out that the sitting area was the bad luck. or is it? well, maybe. we also lost to ADMU when we were on that side. really, we can't blame others or on this event things for our loss. we make our own decisions. it is our own fault we lost to Adamson after having a 14-point lead when the first half ended.<br /><br />and after that, everything just went wrong. and the game closed with i having a last song syndrome of "A-D-A-M-S-O-N".. that cheer.<br /><br />maglalabas lang ako ng bitterness ha.<br />-HOY! ang originaltiy 2 pesos lang sa hardware! kaya pede ba maghanap kayo ng sarili nyong cheer. mga gayagaya!<br /><br />i was not bitter of the loss. not at all. but i was ranting about how their cheer sounded. with that admason cheer ending with "YU!". wasnt that a complete rip-off of our Unidersidad Cheer ending in "U!". what courage to use that in front of us. ugh!<br /><br />with our game against FEU next week, there would be so much possibilities. if FEU loses to Ateneo, they have a 0-4 slate then they need the win more. but if they win, they have higher morals, they could win our match with them. UP, on the other hand, is suffering under two straight loses and i think is really ready to show their stuff.<br /><br />1-2 standing, the bast we can get out of this first round is 3-3. 3 loses because i would be adding to that UE. and 3 wins because i strongly think we can make an upset for FEU and NU. but i really hope we can beat UE also.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1153396264898154622006-07-20T19:47:00.000+08:002006-07-20T19:51:04.910+08:00in love.<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br />it's hard to believe.<br />that i couldn't see.<br />you were always right beside me.<br /><br />i thought i was alone.<br />with no one to hold.<br />but, you were always right beside me.<br /><br />this feeling's like no other.<br />i want you to know.<br /><br />that i never had someone who knows me like you do<br />the way you do<br />and i never had someone that's good for me as you<br />no one like you<br /><br />i'm so lonely before<br />i finally found<br />what i've been looking for<br /><br /></div>j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1153395204765624382006-07-20T18:47:00.000+08:002006-07-20T19:33:24.873+08:00the real series of unfortuante events.wednesday couldnt get any better. i am sarcastic.<br /><br />well, if you i go to sleep feeling bad, i would wake up the next day feeling worse. i went to sleep feeling bad because my fone is already broken. after almost a year of ownership, i lost my fone. AGAIN! not really lost, its that it's of no use to me now.<br /><br />come wednesday, waking up on the hope of being able to fix my broken fone, i wanted to start the day right. but, it rained and i was really out of the mood to go bursting into the rain. i left home thinking i prepared all the things i would be needing that day. physics72.1 class was not that fun since sir was not giving off bonus points although he is late. [the reason: no one exclaimed he was late] also, i was too tired to do the experiment. then, i asked my groupmates, patag and cess, if they could accompany me to philcoa so that i could inquire about my broken fone. by the end of class, sir asked us to repeat our previous worksheet since we didnt answer the questions correctly. it would be so much of a hassle to repeat a worksheet. but, since i only got a percentage of 57, i might as well repeat it.<br /><br />we went directly to philcoa and then they decided to by Baba Shawarma Rice. yes, i thought that it could be something to brighten up my day. we reached citimall and i looked for a cellfone repair shop immmediately. the technician told me that it has a problem with casing and that there were no available case for my fone. i just accepted the factt hat it would be fixed right then and there so i followed my friends to baba's.<br /><br />after that, we went to the tambayan to eat our sharwarma rice. it was trina's birthday so we greeted her and even let us eat her mango cake. yey! at least for a while i was happy. then, i wore my ie dept. shirt for a volleyball game. we would be battling it out with ME department. we were early to arrive so we thought of practicing our play. it was freenan's turn to kill when i decided to try to block. after that incident, my feet got trapped into his and it resulted to a sprain in the ankle. it was not that painful so i continued on playing until default time was over. and, we won by default. 2-0 for the ie dept. again, for that short moment, i was happy.<br /><br />we, again, changed clothes for our cwts class. by that time, my ankle was really hurting and i am finding it hard to walk. when we reached the gym, [imagine, i even endured walking towards the gym] it is only then that i realized that i forgot to bring my sling and gloves. to my advantage, we were only doing a written exam, a lecture on compass reading and a practical exam on wearing your sling in 5 secs. but, still i didnt have my sling. anyway, i got 14/15 on the written exam. woohoo! without even having a hard time studying. haha. i was real worried when they said there would be a practical exam. i quickly asked ate sam if i could borrow hers. and she agreed. [why wouldnt she?] it was a group exam so i really tried hard to do the 5 second thing so that i wouldnt be thec ause of our downfall. and, we got a hundred on that exam.<br /><br />the class was dismissed early so i asked my blockmates if we can go home so that i can rest my ankle and i would like to drop by concepcion market to have another look at my fone. [i was not losing hope that my fone would still be fixed] fortuantely, i reached concepcion and the technician there told me that the problem is with my power switch and that two resistors are missing. and he said he would be able to fix it. [still, it ended up not being fixe because there is one big problem, and i dont know anything about that problem] but, NO! there are no chances. so i went home broken-hearted. [this is the first time i was broken-hearted and it is not because of love!]<br /><br />the first thing i did when i came home is to throw that fone into the wall. and spike it. and kick it. i just poured all my heart out. well, there wouldnt be much effect. my tita noticed that i was limping so she told me to go to our nextdoor neighbor. [manghihilot!] hinilot niya ko! it was super painful. i was releasing high-pitched sounds of pain. you would really see that i was suffering from pain. then she wrapped smoked tuba leaves over my ankle with the use of my handkerchief and then she adviced my not to wet the sprained part. so, there was no bathing for me! argh. that night, i slept early because of all the frustrations i am handling.<br /><br />with a sprained ankle, broken fone, and much more things tumbling in my head, it was really hard to sleep. but a little while later, i was there snoring. taking all the pain in the world and converting them into snores.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1153051290447143932006-07-16T19:41:00.000+08:002006-07-16T20:06:33.310+08:00mission maroon #2: failedMISSION MAROON #2: FAILED!<br /><br />after the cancellation of UP-NU game last thursday, the Maroons are bound to contend with the Eagles earlier this afternoon. After a nerve wrecking first quarter, the Maroon fans were so full of hope that the UP MBT might really be able to clinch this game and own a 2-0 win-loss card. but, after that 30-30 score tally, the Eagles never gave the Maroons a chance to take the lead except for a moment in the second quarter when the Maroons are up by 1. Towards the end of the third quarter, the Eagles are up by 10 and i totally saw how devastated the Maroons were. Into the fourth quarter, the Maroons started to show how they play when they caught up with the Eagles and actually took the lead but only for a short period of time. But, the Eagles really showed their might and stole the lead from the Maroons and made a lead of 14 points. The true Maroon in every Maroon lifted off and tried to cut down the lead but ended up down by 9.<br /><br />the Eagles really dominated the game. actually, there really was no point in the game dominated by the Maroons. sad but true, most of the Eagles points are penalty shots from the fouls committed by the Maroons. actually, 2 Maroons graduated. and to our sad surprise, Marvin Cruz was one of them. late in the fourth quarter, mister referee called on cruz for a charging foul on one of the Eagles. this, really put down the Maroons' fans hopes of tying things up with Ateneo two minutes till the end of the game. the score board showed 89-98. kudos to the Eagles for a great play. and more power to the Maroons hoping to get a slot in the final four.<br /><br />that was the event today. i may not be happy with the results but there is no point dwelling on such things. it is time to move on and lift up the spirit that we, the Maroons, can make it to the final four. but, this is still the first round. many things are bound to come. we may not see NU as a team to beat; but, hey, they may beat us.<br /><br />maroon mission #3 continues next week as we battle it out with the AdU Falcons. both teams are vying for a 2-1 win-loss card. i really hope that we get this one.<br /><br />LET'S PAINT THIS TOWN MAROON!j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1152626696835833712006-07-11T21:00:00.000+08:002006-07-11T22:04:57.610+08:00time will come, jod. it will.nice one.<br /><br />i felt so stupid lately. and i was in a lazy mood today.<br /><br />it all started in the morning. i woke up 6am because i knew i had an 830 class and that i move so slow. but, i went back to sleep again and woke up at 7 quarter. well, i got up fast ate some toast then went straight for the bathroom. i went out of the bathroom at a quarter to 8. i really didnt know what to do so i panicked and went hysterical. i left the house 10 minutes past 8 and i didnt expect that i would be arriving to school even before our professor comes in our classroom. you hear it right, i arrived at 8:40 and even had time to fix my hair and find my chair at the back of the class before ma'am entered the room. imagine! anyway, i still didnt get what i should be getting from physics. actually, i was sleeping the whole time. promise. i know that this shouldnt be the work of a up student but, hey, i am still human and i need sleep! excuses!<br /><br />we went straight to IEClub tambayan after that. knowing that i still have some repsonsibilities to do, i totally neglected them. not that i really didnt do them, i just forgot. okay. bryan and patrcik were there. freshies. yes. hmm. and i really didnt wanted to talk to anyone at that time. so, i managed to tell them that we just start eating because i am really hungry. good thing i brought a peanut-butter and ham-and-egg sandwiches. with it, i drank iced tea [eng'g iced tea, i think, is the most flavorful iced tea in the whole of up]. gaye treated us with polvoron for making us wait for her in the math building.<br /><br />geog class was not that fun either. we just discussed maps. and, because of a new suggestion we are having a geog camp instead of a fieldtrip. i think that would be exciting. but because of fiscal problems, some people argued about the expenses we would be spending. straightening things out on my mind, i just thought that if a fieldtrip would be worth 500-800 pesos, that would just be for our allowance. the food and other expenses would be on our behalf. but, the 1300-1500 peso camp would cover all expenses - food, transportation, paraphernalia for activities, EVERYTHING. there wouldnt much be a big difference between the two. AND, th fun part, the geog camp would be an overnight stay at a farm in lipa city, batangas. i just wondered, [lipa?] that would just be a 2-hour ride from manila. couldnt we go some place farther? haha. i wish. but still, we are students and some wouldnt be allowed to go if the place is too far.<br /><br />no MPs10 class. sir gave us our readings. it was not as many as i expected. i could read it in two hours! hah. but, due to my extremely busy [or maybe i just made myself busy with other things] schedule, i can make it in 3-4 days. i rarely find the time i want for reading. i am still on page 120+ of living to tell the tale. and i havent finished the 102 rules of writing. i havent started on impersonal. and now, ive managed reading the first page of the new set of readings and i am wondering when i would i lay my eyes on them again.<br /><br />i directly went to the tambayan. i let patag and cess get my reading because i have primers to staple and glue together. after a while, batchmates came and aske dif they can offer help. at this point in time, i woild never say no to a blessing. i gladly said, yes. bathcmates are real lifesavers. when in times of cramming, they would do some of the work for you knowing that you couldnt do it by yourself. i am so damn proud of having such very supportive batchmates.<br /><br />es1 introduces a new plate. drawing an isometric drawing from multiview projections. actually, i did the plate for about an hour. but carlo tells me that some details of item no.3 were not correct. so i changed them. the SA [student assistant] distributed plate no.7 and i got a 9.0 for it [10 is the highest]. my lowest so far. i am hoping i wouldnt be going down to 8 after that plate.<br /><br />i went directly to the tambayan to check if the primers are done. and, they were. but still, some of the edges wre not trimmed that the cover are so big. so i asked my batchmates if they could make the primers more presentable. and i am glad they did. after a while, we prepared the ie lecture room for the applicant's orientation and buddy bidding. i got ana[?] for a buddy and i was just happy somebody did bid for me. at least, i was not sold at ten pesos! hah.<br /><br />that ended my day at school. but, i would be continuing on doing things here at home. being a director isnt easy work. who said it would be? i get to have so many responsibilities and really do them. but, at first everything seemed so easy. but really, all it takes is a sense of responsibility and some fun. you wouldnt consider doing things without fun. isnt it that the things we do most are the things we have fun doing?<br /><br />the day started lazy but progressed to be productive. to do things we see as boring, we should just spice things up.<br /><br />things are not the same as they were. what happened to the we-wil-sill-be-friends-and-it-will-never-change statement? anyway, i wouldnt expect more. its just things like that wont work. and i just knew it. time will come, jod. time will come.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1152453060225400312006-07-09T21:03:00.000+08:002006-07-09T21:57:21.796+08:00the maroons just outgrolwed the tigers.last night's confusion/happy/blank feeling was immediately replaced by this day's very happy happening. but, i warn you that this post is full of biases. the things that happened are put in the way i wanted to see them.<br /><br />today, i witnessed how we, UP, showed UST how it is to dance and play ball.<br /><br />i actually think that we could have won with a larger margin if not for the short deterioration period after the half-time break. the team entered the court relaxed as the third quarter started and that is where ust used this to their advantage and level with up's score. twice in the game was UP's score ten more then UST's. it was totally a comic relief when UST tries hard to go for a three-pointer but managed to do it first time in the third quarter. that was where me and my friends laughed and said, "sige, pagbigyan naman daw." actually, the game was full of laughs. such as - ust's players should be eating beige-tables (vegetables which are colored beige), imagine they had three(?) injured players in one game. how lame could that be? i was completely overwhelmed with how one rookie, jersey number 12 (the name's martin reyes), performed today. to think that he is still a rookie, coach relied on him to do up's three-pointers. and, he really did that job very well. up's first 6-9 points lead actually was made out of his 2-3 three-pointers. i salute you, young maroon. a job well done today.<br /><br />and about the half-time, it just showed who the real champion is. if you won last year's CDC, a half-time perfomance would be just a "no-sweat" performance for you. but, to tell you the turth, "ang sarap ng niluto nilang ulam!" okay, i commend them for wearing costumes. but still, costumes wouldnt really matter. its how you and your squad would be performing. the start was still okay, but when it came to the part that the guys are going to do a tumbling routine one really fat guy <gay?> didnt do it well. actually, he really bounced when he fell. the other mistakes were that the dancers were not synchronized with their moves and some pyramids just failed to form.<br /><br />okay, enough with ust's flaws. i know we, UP, aslo have ours. i hate UP's ball handling skills. and when marvin cruz did a fast break and the ball did not go in, i was so frustrated that instant. they made so many fouls from the first quarter on that some of ust's points came from freethrows. aww.<br /><br />but i feel so damn happy.<br /><br />to all those who cant take all of the things ive said especially ust peeps who read this. i have a comment tag where you can put violent reactions or just plain comments. i would be accepting any. my tagboard is also open.<br /><br />peace to y'all.</gay?>j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1152368579719869602006-07-08T22:11:00.000+08:002006-07-08T22:22:59.736+08:00survey.since i dont knowif i am either confused or happy or just plain blank. i thought of just answering a survey.<br /><br />01.

[sighs]<br /><br />i had two shakes today. one is from zagu and the other from a booth in the gym. [this week is CHK week. congrats] haha. to tell you the truth, it was both watermelon. hmm, the other i would say has mangoes in it. i really really love watermelons. actually, when sir turgo asked us to bring oour favorite fruit to class i first thought of watermelon. but, it would be so practical to bring one whole watermelon to school so i brought grapes instead. that day was the day i again ate a grape. the last time was since forever. i cant really remember. so, the things i wrote down while eating grapes were things i miss most. or the things i miss doing. or things i remember and things i can associate with grapes. damn. memories...<br /><br />hmm. i really have more things to do. and some are more important than staying in front of the computer and doing nothing. i have tons of readings to read. and ES1 plate to finish. an el50 report to prepare.<br /><br />anyway, to save time, i will stop stating all the things i would be doing. instead, i should be going and doing them right now. okay.<br /><br />i know you miss me. i hope i do too.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1152023686035650402006-07-04T22:07:00.000+08:002006-07-04T22:34:46.106+08:00...- sorry pagod lang. walang maisulat -<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1151813107898363062006-07-02T11:05:00.000+08:002006-07-02T12:05:07.976+08:00a national issue.i am really sorry.<br /><br />i am not seeing you as often as i used to last summer.<br /><br />things really do change for the better. but, i am not saying that blogging is not a good thing for me.<br /><br />in a fast-paced world, we cannot stop, linger and think of things outside our work. in my situation, study then study and study more. a student has got to do what a student has got to do. no unnecessary internet usage. no gimmicks. no malling. maybe except after an exam where we, the students, needs a pat on the back for [maybe] passing the exam or just making it through two hours of picking what letter is the best answer to a question. anyway, my first long exams are about three weeks from now and i really really have to pay attention to physics. yes, physics. i cant understand whatever she says. she makes things more complex. i understand the book better. she murmurs and we cant hear her from the back. that is so frustrating. add to that the fact that i sit at the back of an airconditioned classroom with a comfortable seat for a chair. who wouldnt be tempted to sleep? oh well, i have to study electrcity just to make sure i pass my first long exam. argh.<br /><br />anyway, i just passed our el50 group assignment. it is due 12noon today and i passed it at 11:32am. so much for cramming. actually, it is not fully my fault. it is nobody's fault to tell you the truth. i know that me and my groupmates have so much things to do and sometimes, preoccupied with things we shouldnt be thinking of - for example, crushes [tama ba ahjh? haha.]. we cannot control ourselves of being preoccupied. it just takes a lot of time to be able to control yourself of thinking about too many things then forgetting to do those of higher importance. as i usually say, it is all in the mind.<br /><br />engineering freshmen night is already finished and i am happy that i am part of the team that made it happen. i needed a pat on the back for that. i was so happy when i saw sugarfree perform although we, xian and me, headed home when their fourth song was about to end. anyway, i heard them play tulog na as we were walking down acad oval heading for the katipunan terminal at balara. i felt a smile draw upon my face the moment the music struck my eardrums, knowing that this would be a sentimental night. a moment flash backed and it was the best rainy night my entire life.<br /><br />talk about globalization. we were dicussing about gloablization in geography class last friday which led me to a conclusion that there is no problem about gloabalization, it is only we, the filipino people, who make our own problem with it. look, there are critics of globalization but still, they use nokia phones, eat in either burgoo or kentucky fried chicken even in mcdonalds, they sport the latest fashion trends [wearing either chucks or nike or adidas] ALL of WHICH are supporting gloabalization. my professor even asks us if we see that ANY one of them uses only filipino products, NO! they themselves contradict what they stand for.<br /><br />i think that we should really put ourselves into globalization. it is a natural process that started more than centuries ago. our attitude towards progress is the only hindrance for our progression. others say they are against globalization yet tend to contradict themselves. nag-ooffer na ng tulong mapride pa rin at ayaw tanggapin. that is where the problem is. PRIDE! seeking help is not a sign of weakness, it just means you lack resources to the things you are planning to do. if we dont want our rights be abused then we should not give them reasons to abuse us. yun lang iyon.<br /><br />what is hould do today [sunday] for next week:<br />1. try to finish gabriel garcia marquez's living to tell the tale.<br />2. photocopy mps10 readings. and have it ring bound.<br />3. buy es1 book.<br />4. study, study, study for physics physics physics.<br />5. finish worksheet for physics lab.<br />6. buy yellow pad.<br />7. prepare el50 report.<br />8. buy art materiald for geog.<br />9. review maps for geog.<br />10. research on maps for geog.<br />11. ask permission to go to freshmen night at bahay ng alumni.

[di ko tinignan yans a kahit anong search engine ha. alam ko lang talaga]. that first game against UST uplifted every taga-UP's heart which made everyone expect that this would be a better year - we just outgrowled the growling tigers.<br /><br />that first game, made me a UAAP fan from that day on. after the finals, [which is also watched] i cant wait for another season to start. well, after placing 2nd from the previous cheerdance competition wouldnt you want another season to begin?<br /><br />and now, as july 8 is nearing, my heart beats with excitement as season 69 is about to take off. i dont know if it is coincidence, UST is again our first match for the season; it is actaully on july 9 that we will first meet. will we be outgrowling them for the second time and take away those first game jitters? i hope so. i also hope that 2006 will be 1986 the repeat. [1986 is the last year UP won its basketball championship, excatly 20 years ago!] to think that there are still very good teams, notably UE, i really hope that we fight till the end. what is our name for if we will not live up to it? GO, UP FIGHT!<br /><br />i just hope and pray that UP will enter final four this year after being denied twice. yes, enough of the la salle issue but still if it weren't for them we would have been in the final four, i think. i am not really sure of that.<br /><br />with la salle suspended for a year, here are my final four bets: (not really in order)<br /><br /><span style="color:red;">University of the East Red Warriors <- the team to beat this season, i assure you</span><br /><span style="color:blue;">Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles</span><br /><span style="color:maroon;">University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons<br /><br /></span>and for the last slot, it is either<br /><br /><span style="color:yellow;">University of Sto. Tomas Growling Tigers</span><br /><span style="color:gold;">Far Eastern University Tamaraws</span><br /><br />teka, bakit walang kulay yung tamaraw ng FEU.. hmm..<br /><br />that is how i see it. and still, NU is this competition's cellar-dweller. no offense meant. just pure opinion.<br /><br />anyway, sometime in the past i was wondering how us [mga taga-UP] are called Fighting Maroons. actually, i was about to submit it as a theme for a concept paper in an english course, how do UP people have an abstract mascot instead of having animals or whatever. to tell you the truth, the administration considered us being called Maroons and Greens (school colors) then Parrots (the bird in that seal). i cant blame them for callign us parrots. you know well why, right? actually, maroon is a spanish word for cimarron which means wild or untamed. they were the slaves of the Spanish whent hey were in Jamaica. just read jamaica's history for more information. so, that is how we beocme the fighting marooons. we are not actually abstract but more of a <span style="font-style: italic;">brusko</span> type of team. look, we are the fighting untamed slaves. today, that does not count because there are no more slaves (unless we count in politics). we are more than the red warriors! haha. i really am biased.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1151075927582341422006-06-23T23:05:00.000+08:002006-06-23T23:18:47.600+08:00up. up. down.bloggie, im seeing less of you as weeks pass by. last week, i remember i amed approximately 4 posts. i dont know. maybe the student in me is really trying hard to keep up with the academic life here in up. i was just so relieved that the weekend is here. and i am not planning on ruining my free time with school work and extra curriculars. i just hope that this break would take out all the stress in me and help me relax.<br /><br />anyway, school has been very generous. actually, i feel that this would be an ace semester. i hope that i wouldnt confident about it because i would have the tendency to slack off again. and i wouldnt want that.<br /><br />life, in general, has its own ups and downs. right now, i am experiencing life at its best. i can say this because even though i feel so tired, i still manage to smile at the end of the day and thank the lord how wonderful he made the day to be. wouldnt it be fun if life stayed this way? but the only problem is, how can we improve ourselves and change how we live if we just stay on top?<br /><br />imagine never having to work just to earn money? some people would say that would be better. but no, how do you expect to leanr the art of hard work and sweat if you wouldnt do anything to stay alive. there would be certain things in life you would surely miss. like the true aspect of success. you wouldnt feel success without having to work hard to achieve your goal or anything you want.<br /><br />to amke the long story short, life wouldnt be as exciting as it should be when we dont experience its ups and downs. we should take all the risks we think is oppurtunity. we never come out of life alive anyway.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1150811096811767312006-06-20T21:42:00.000+08:002006-06-20T21:44:56.833+08:00my language world.my EL50 class is very much advacned. imagine that we would be passing our assignments through email. well, i cant blame him because of too much paperwork. i understand him very much.<br /><br />i attach here is the copy of my assignment answering the question, "how do you see yourself in the language perspective?"<br /><br />P.S. EL50 is about the contribution of europe to world language. yeah, this class would be fun.<br /><br />so here it is:<br /><br />in my language world, i can speak 2 languages -english and filipino. i can recognize different european languages like spanish, french and italian. when i was seven, i learned italian from the seminary near our house becasue they will be having italian visitors and it is better if we also know how to speak italian. but now, i can barely talk but still remember some phrases.<br /><br /> actually, i think i am more literate in english because i write better in english and cans trike up a conversation speaking in english. everytime i am in a filipino lesson in school they dont teach us correct grammar and punctuation. look, they focus more on the different types of sentences but not on how to write senteces. they dont teach filipino the way they teach english. i dont even know subject-verb agreements in filipino.<br /><br /> in written word, i am better off in english. but inv erbal conversations, i end up speaking in filipino. but in special cases, like when im hyped or just out of my mind, i tlak to my friends in english and they respond in english.<br /><br /> i am very much interested in learning european languages. i think they talk fancy i it sounds good to hear. my ate actually know italian because she stayed in italy for a year. sometimes, she speaks in italian because i recognize some phrases and so does my father.<br /><br /> but still, i am affected more when people speak to me in filipino. when i do something bad and they would start a sermon on me, i am easily offended because they speak to me in filipino. well, they dont really speak to me in english. when my friends and i quarrel we use filipino because when we throw words at each other we know that we hurt more if it is in filipino.<br /><br /> in conclusion, i am better in written english because i am not taught the basics of filipino grammar. didnt they think that it should also be taught because not many filipinos know how filipino grammar really works? my interest in european languages are mainly influenced by my interest in travelling because i would love to travel to europe someday. and sice language is part of culture, i am very much interested in learning them as well.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1150705061689542772006-06-19T15:59:00.000+08:002006-06-19T16:17:41.733+08:00subject well-roundedness.today. i dont know what today is. ic ant tell whether i should be happy or sad. all i know is that i didnt had any extreme feeling.<br /><br />math class was way disappointing. it came to the point that me and my other classmates [except 2] are waiting for our prof in mb 328 when all along my 2 other classmates and the professor are in mb318. the class started when it was nearly 730am. to our surprise, [but more of disappointment] the class ended before it was quarter to eight! grabe, wala pang ten minutes. well, i can tell that she really is busy. but, why take a class when you know you have work to do. i wouldnt want us to be late for our lessons. maybe, she would just make up for all the missed lessons. anyway, we only had two meetings. and i bet the course wouldnt be that long unlike 53 and 54.<br /><br />lately, [rather a while earlier] i just realized what my classes are. i took geog1 mainly because i am interested in geography. and, as ma'am puts it, we would study about how geography affects lives and cultures of different people. i really like how it sounds and i am very interested in it. another, EL50, so much for being desperate on getting a ge. earlier, sir discussed what EL50 is all about and it covers the course on europe and its contribution to world language. he then asks us a question on how do we see on the language perspective. truthfully, i would say that i am much literate in writing in english than in tagalog. it seems like, it is a disvory of one's self. sabi nga niya, hindi ito trabaho, personalan to. EL50 also discusses on effects of colonization on language. and he said that we would understand the world better if we start with ourselves. Lastly, MPs10, another subject i most need. i know i need to improve my filipino writing skills. and what better way to start is by enrolling in this course. he makes us read "living to tell the tale" by gabriel garcia marquez and think on how he made his novels. he said that words aren't enough, we need proper inspiration to really make a work of art.<br /><br />i would definitely say that things happen for a purpose. and this sem i figured out how the previous statement works out. by just looking at my subjects, i see a realization, an improvement and happiness. i was given geog1 because i love it. i was given EL50 because we need to realize things. i was given MPs10 because i need improvement. so far, this is the most well-rounded sem i ever had. i think these things would keep me going and strive hard.<br /><br />ok. that's all for now, i just wnated to share on what i realized. got an ES1 class to prepare for tomorrow.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23040167.post-1150635549718649762006-06-18T20:56:00.000+08:002006-06-18T20:59:09.733+08:00wah?hey. this is my first assignment in MPs10. i really hope this would be graded fairly. i expect a lot of grammatical errors and misleading sentences. wala kasi akong talent. at hindi ko memorize ang balarilang tagalog. so, i really wish my writing would improve. i am very open to learning new things and accept my mistakes. that is another thing i really like about myself.<br /><br />so here it goes:<br /><br /> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Jodimer C.

[wala ko maisip na umpisa e.]<br /><br />i came home at 11pm last night and my mind wandered about the party ive been too. yes, it was fun but certainly it is not something worth looking back to. so, i headed towards the ktichen and found that there were nothing to eat. i ws really disappointed so i decided to drink a glass of water rather than knick a zesto from ate shiela's stock. at least i amde the better choice. as i was alone that time, i brushe dmy teeth and washed my face. i went directly to my room, closed the lights and seven minutes later, fell asleep. [an average person falls asleep in an average of seven minutes] i thought, i wish that tomorrow would be one hack of a day.<br /><br />i woke up at 7am because of a very high-pitched shrilly voice coming from my aunt. because of exhaustion from last night's party, i found it hard to wake up. but, realized how important this day should be. so i ate two piece of bread and took my bath. i would confess, i fell asleep during the priest's homily at mass. i know it is bad, but i dont do it everytime. i was just so tired. sorry! anyway, after the mass i headed to the seminary to do all the stuff i should do so that when i leave for parañaque they wouldnt bother me with things i forgot to do. i was damn excited to go to parañaque because once again, our family would be complete. well, except for my eldest sister.<br /><br />and since i am so happy, i would tell you very much of my father, Marcelino Caoleng Gozum. i dont really speak of him that much. because as we all know, i didnt live with my paretns since i was 2 or 3 years old. although, i dont spend that much time with him, i make sure that every time we are together are moments i would be cherishing forever. we really are not that close. we dont have the usual father and son relationship. its like i never had my father but still, i know i have one.<br /><br />my father never let me feel i never had one. yes, since i lived with my aunt for more than three-fourths my age, i never expereinced how it was to be cared for by a father. yet, whenever we are together, he knows how to make it up for me. and now that im 17, i really dont know how it would be without him. its like his physical presence is not there but i feel it i my blood that he is there.<br /><br />he is the best father a struggling kid would have. when the time there was a family problem, he never let my ate feel down. he was there. he calmly tried to put things in order although we know that everything is out of our hands.<br /><br />he knows the right time to be wacky and when to be not. i really like it when my father dances around. haha. i would really miss his very sleek moves. he knows how to have fun. kahit kanina, he was even interested with dancemaniax! grabe, hindi ko naiisip na other fathers would be interested in today's arcade games. public pa yon ha! but, there are times na it is better to be serious than funny. and he really know that. he feels when we are down kahit nakasmile kaming magkakapatid.<br /><br />he respects us for what we are and for what we want. he never discouraged us for our dreams and aspirations. he says that if its for the better, ok lang sa kanya. i already told him about my plans with PBB, he even said it is okay. tinawanan pa nga ako e. he is always ready to see the brighter side of things and i think, yun ang namana ko sa kanya.<br /><br />he loves reading. matalino din tatay ko. he read lots of books and reading anything he can get knowledge from. biruin mo, adik na rin sa interent. he always visits the cnn site and other catholic websites for more information. another thing i like about him is that he is always hungry for knowledge. kahit na he is already 54 years old, he knows that he doesnt know everything. but, as much as i am concerned, he knows everything about how being a father is.<br /><br />he sets a good example for us. he is a dead-straight catholic. but, he never intervenes with what we should think about our religion. not unlkike other "sarado katoliko" he didnt discourage us about reading the da vinci code. talk about open-mindedness! once, he was a chain smoker. he could smoke 2 packs a day. but now, he only smokes only occassionally. konting pilit lang pala at konsensya. siguro naisip niya an we really care about him nung kinukulit namin siya about quitting. for me, he is the ebst example of a person who puts our lord in the center of his life.<br /><br />yes, that is my father. i never told him how important he is to me. but, i bet he already know that. he knows things about us we never tell him and he knows how and what we feel in certain situations. i really love him eventhough i only spend little time with him.<br /><br />Mar Gozum - a good husband, a loving father, a great cook [kapampangan kasi!], a groovemaster, a wacky friend, an intelligent adviser, a true foundation, a strong catholic, a bookworm, an inspiration.<br /><br />pop, i love you.j.0.dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832783996970080999noreply@blogger.com0
